Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dry Food
"What good things you're bringing home?" Yiyi asked casually.
"If you are in a hurry to go back, you don't care about what to bring, this is the food on the road."
Sprouted potatoes and rotten sweet potatoes are not allowed to be eaten. It seems that they are in a hurry, and the Dong family has no time to prepare dry food for them.
Yiyi frowned: "I still have some potatoes and sweet potatoes missing here, and there are not many of them, and it's a little troublesome to find." If only you had a few dozen more baskets in your hands,"
"The rest of us is broken, so we can make do with roasting and eating on the road, but we can't give it to you."
"It's barely enough to have so much for me to pick and use, and please give it to me, but I don't have any silver."
Everyone blushed, "It's really not about money, Lord Lin will leave it for you." ”
Having said that, everyone stopped being verbose, and happily moved the things from their respective cars.
Yiyi turned around and asked Sister-in-law Zhou, the steamed buns had all been steamed, and there were several drawers each. Yiyi stuffed a piece of silver into her hand, explained a few words, and she left in Yiyi's carriage.
Yiyi asked the old couple to do business again and sell all these to themselves, and the two old men naturally couldn't ask for it.
"Now that everyone's food has been given to me, let's take these steamed buns and buns with me on the way to pad my stomach. Tomorrow there will be no more selling of these, so let's help eat them. You are Dong Shibo's relatives and friends, so don't see me. ”
Without waiting for everyone to say goodbye again, Yiyi smiled: "Just a few of us have to eat gluttony!" ”
"Hey! Lord Lin is kind, then we will take it. Some of the people who had woken up looked at Li Wenkui and responded.
Lin Zhaoxian saw that Yiyi sent the buns out with great effort, so he called Qingzhu over and instructed him to cut a large bag of braised pork and buy hundreds of baked cakes, be fast! Qingzhu led the order and went quickly with the carriage. He told Yiyi again and asked her to leave everyone until Qingzhu came back.
After a while, Sister-in-law Zhou came back, and Yiyi told everyone that Sister-in-law Zhou brought home-made candy, and one pound of caramel and one pound of pine nut candy per person were snacks for the children at home; Honey kumquat ventilation, peach crisp melt in the mouth, and one pound per person is for the elderly at home.
These candies are not necessarily willing to buy for the New Year, go out from afar, have these things to bring back like much, the taste of dim sum in the capital is comparable to the small county.
When Qingzhu brought back a street of baked cakes and more than a dozen catties of braised pork, everyone no longer politely excused themselves, and they all took things happily, and Li Wenkui also entrusted his cousin with his four catties of sugar to take home.
Then Li Wenkui brought two offspring who were the same age as him, probably because he promised the villagers that everything was done, and Li Wenkui's whole person was brisk at this time. He introduced Wang Yuanzhi, who was tall and honest, and the car was very good; The thin and smiling is Li Wenjin, who is good at dealing with people and is his cousin.
Yiyi saw that both of them had supported Li Wenkui in the morning, and agreed to deduct half of the loss, so they had points in their hearts.
He said again: "I don't know where Lord Lin is going this time, it's just that you just returned to Daxun, and you don't have enough manpower." Both of them were faithful men, and they had many brothers in their families, and they did not point to them in the work of the field. If Lord Lin doesn't dislike it, they are willing to accompany you out of this trip, they can't help it, and it's still okay to run errands and drive a car. ”
Yiyi looked at the two, and both of them smiled and nodded, looking really willing.
"A few of you have a heart, I need to discuss it with the third uncle." The third uncle was present today, and Yiyi had to ask him what he meant first.
"That's nature." The three of them all responded and went to Lin Zhaoxian's place with Yiyi.
After listening to everyone's words, Lin Zhaoxian asked a few people: "I don't know which state and county Bozhou has the same accent as the neighboring state?" ”
"We people in the countryside don't go out much, and we can't tell you what is far away. It's just that my mother is a native of Huangnigang, Jiangyuan County, Songzhou, and her accent is similar to ours on weekdays. Li Wenkui didn't interject, Li Wenjin didn't smile or speak, and he slowly replied. Seems to be a good person to deal with.
Yiyi and the third uncle looked at each other and smiled, and Lin Zhaoxian said to the two: "Then there are two Lao." ”
When the three of them heard this, they all said happily: "Lord Lin is polite." If it weren't for Lord Kobayashi's help, all of us would have to stay in the capital. A little thing, not worth being polite. ”
This time, everyone got the letter, and said that if the farm work of several families was too busy, everyone would help.
"Then our share of the braised pork will be eaten by the big guys!" Li Wenjin deliberately sniffed.
"Hurry up, hurry up! lest he still be anxious about this bag of meat. The big guy said goodbye to the Lin family's uncle and nephew with a smile, and Li Wenkui and the three of them sent out of the city gate.
Lord Dong waited until the hour before he had time to return to the West Market, and he came with Lord Xiao just as the Lin family's uncle and nephew were talking about the layout of the stall.
Yiyi planned to place six small tables, slightly lower than the normal dining table, with four slightly wider benches. The right half of the stall facing the street and the right hand side are connected to a figure-seven three-layer shelf, all of which are varnished to make a log color. The four corner pillars of the stall were repainted with red paint, and one or two days was fine.
This small stall is mainly to highlight the placement of goods, clean up, and look at the bright hall. Because the overall layout is simple, it is necessary to pay attention to the wood materials.
"Nephew, leave this to me, and I'll get it for you early the day after tomorrow."
"Shibo, you are so busy, why bother you?" Yiyi was a little surprised, and Master Dong would take this job.
"Lao Dong has a good carpentry skill, and his favorite thing is to dispatch groups of craftsmen, and it would be even better if someone begged him to dial it. He and Zhao Langzhong, the Ministry of Industry, are friends again, and I am a helper who works as a day worker. Just leave it to him, and he likes to do it. Lord Xiao lifted his bottom in three or two sentences.
"Old Xiao, why is it so difficult for me to want to be a favor here with my nephew?" Master Dong almost went to cover his mouth.
Yiyi smiled and hurriedly agreed, tomorrow she will go to the ministry, there is an expert check, it is better. Relationships are all troublesome to each other, and you can't make friends if you blindly refuse help from others.
Next, I drew the drawings and marked the dimensions, and then I was done. In terms of silver, Lord Dong estimated that it was eleven taels or fourteen dollars. According to the material requirements, it is a very real price.
"I'll collect money when I make a move, or I won't be able to get a job in the future." Mr. Dong quoted the price, so he laughed.
"If you want to take the job in the future, I think you have to raise the price again."
Yiyi told Master Dong about asking Li Wenkui and the three of them to help her, and she took the initiative to say that it would not damage the friendship between the two families.
"Shibo knows that his niece has just returned to Daxun, and it is really inconvenient for him to go out on weekdays or the third uncle's scholar to help run errands. Several of them are familiar with Shibo, so I can rest assured that I will ask them for help. ”
"I was also saying that the kid of the Li family is not at ease when he is alone in Beijing without me, and it is great to be able to settle in your Lin family. I am down-to-earth and have an explanation for the villagers. To be honest, they didn't feel comfortable at my house for a while, but I saw that you had a little work for them to do, and they were down-to-earth. ”
"Shibo's eyes are like torches, and the Lin family has a lot of work at the moment."
While talking here, Lin Zhaoxian's two entourages came over: "Master, you are here, there are guests at home, waiting for you and the eldest lady to return home." ”
"Who's coming?" Lin Zhaoxian has lived in a simple house these days, and it is rare to be urged to return home this time, so I want to ask who is making trouble.
The two entourages stepped forward and whispered back when they saw that there were many people around, Yiyi's hearing has been much more sensitive recently, and he was only a few steps away and naturally heard clearly.
